I'm glad to see that things have dried out and finally warmed up a bit for you over the past few weeks.

Even though this spring has not been spiffy here, I'm not complaining (but we did get 6 inches of snow yesterday that thankfully has mostly melted).joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-3020857073097381492009-04-07T21:58:00.000-03:002009-04-07T21:58:00.000-03:00That's craziness.

Remind me to send you some oars and a row boat. <BR/><BR/>Seeing the water washing out your road reminds me of when we use to live in Arizona. 11 months out of the year, it's dry. They build roads over the wash basins. Then about February---the roads wash out. <BR/><BR/>At least you got bloomers--right?

The rivers are over their banks here too but so far no serious damage to homes. <BR/><BR/>We had a dusting of snow last night but not enough to worry the daffodils and tulips that are starting to emerge. As far as bloom goes, it seems the heat is harder on bulbs than the cold. When we have warm springs the bulbs just blow in a couple days and it's all over.<BR/>Roses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-11019544865216333672009-04-06T13:39:00.000-03:002009-04-06T13:39:00.000-03:00Yippiee for Snowdrops!

I'm still waiting for my 'Ivory Prince' Hellebores to open. One would have yesterday had it been sunny, instead of overcast & about to snow.
